    Parents ADHD affect floor and beam routines?

    Do you think ADHD could make it harder for child to learn and perform beam and floor routines? DD has always struggled with this and her school teacher has suggested an assessment for what she is seeing in class.

    Parents Blatant Favoritism

    Just want to clarify to make sure I am understanding. She is working in the skills and routines that she will need for state at the end of the month? Will the girls who are up training be performing their new skills at state at the end of the month or they are up training skills for next year?
